Chapter 227: Creating a World with Group Theory

There is no perfect plan in the world, and scholars have raised questions about this one.

"The Genesis Plan is essentially about creating a world and then bringing the Si Civilization into this manufactured sandbox world for a game."

"But this world in your plan is entirely beyond our control, with countless uncertainties. How can you turn these uncertainties into a favorable situation for us?"

In this new form of warfare, you may achieve your own goals, or you may elevate your opponent to the forefront.

The possibility is not 1:9, but 5:5, which is too uncertain.

All scholars felt somewhat helpless when faced with this issue.

In the interstellar battlefield, strategies are usually not employed. If one were to use tactics, it would have to be absolutely perfect, especially in non-wartime situations.

During combat, most life forms lose a portion of their rationality. Sometimes, even when life forms are converted into computer calculators, they still retain emotions, which are excellent tools that can make the calculations of life decisions more accurate.

However, in non-wartime situations, everyone can remain absolutely calm, making it very difficult to employ any tactics.

Therefore, the scholars present must make the plan as perfect as possible.

At this moment, Yan Xia spoke up, "What about groups?"

"Groups?"

All the scholars' minds went blank for a moment.

In specialized fields, or in higher civilizations like the Federation, which encompasses countless fields, many areas are extremely complex, and a single word can represent numerous categories.

They didn't know which field Yan Xia was referring to when he mentioned "groups," but they were certain it wasn't a chat group.

"In fact, a long time ago, some scholars at the Shuiwei No. 1 Research Institute were studying groups in macroscopic physics."

"We all know that in the field of mathematics, groups are of great importance to grand unified theory, gauge theory, Yang-Mills field theory, and so on. In mathematics, it can be extended to the microscopic level of physics. So, can we utilize the characteristics of group theory at the macroscopic level?"

There was an uproar.

When Yan Xia mentioned groups in mathematics, all the scholars immediately thought of Abelian groups. And after he mentioned gauge theory, they instantly understood what he was truly trying to say.

The concept of groups is easy to understand. Imagine an object with multiple states of motion. These states of motion are essentially the same object, and they are one and the same. Therefore, we can categorize these states of motion into a group.

In mathematics, you can also consider (1, 2, 3) = (1, 3, 2) = (2, 1, 3) = (2, 3, 1) = (3, 1, 2) = (3, 2, 1). These numbers, aside from their different orders, are essentially the same. Thus, we can form a group with these numbers.

So, what is a gauge?

A gauge itself is like cm, m, km, s, min, h, and other units of length and time. If we can equate units of length and time, then we are gauging space and time.

Of course, this is just a simple understanding. The actual mathematical concept is more abstract. For example, we can condense all the theorems of the world, or a civilization's entire understanding of the world, into a single mathematical formula.

From group theory to gauge field theory, and then to the Yang-Mills field theory mentioned by Yan Xia, it is easy to deduce what Yan Xia wants to do.

We can gauge 123 and abc. Is it possible for us to use something at point a to gauge point b and cause the desired changes in the things at point b?

In this way, the last difficulty of the plan is also solved.

Everything at point b can be controlled by us at point a, eliminating all uncertainties.

"But can this really work?" a scholar asked skeptically.

Because this is like a tale from the Arabian Nights.

But since Yan Xia brought it up, it is indeed possible.

"The Federation's technology may be more advanced than you think."

The Federation is vast, especially with the distance of over 100 light-years between the Qiancang Star Domain and the Shuiwei No. 1 Star Domain. Information is actually blocked, not only for ordinary citizens but also for these scholars.

The only ones who can obtain comprehensive information about the entire Federation are Ella and, to a lesser extent, Yan Xia.

"That's good, but how do we implement it?"

In response to the inquiry, Yan Xia waved his hand and generated a holographic model.

In the holographic model, a particle sphere appeared in Yan Xia's hand, and another object was located in the distance. Yan Xia altered the physical properties of the particle sphere, thereby affecting the distant object and causing it to change.

To everyone's surprise, the object took on the form of a person, who then began to move, speak, and do various things.

"The Xishen has sufficient computing power to gauge a new world."

Thus, the outcome of the discussion was determined.

Is this plan perfect?

Indeed, it is perfect.

However, the drawback is that it is not simple enough.

Fortunately, the cost is shared in terms of energy, not lives, which is more acceptable.

With the plan finalized, how should we create a "higher world"?

This world has the superiority of life, so it must emerge from war. This experiment is not only crucial for the war against the Si Civilization but also, in Yan Xia's opinion, can serve as a competition for the subsequent sequences.

However, it is quite a brain-racking task.

After the meeting, Yan Xia returned to his quarters to reflect on and summarize the meeting data.

This data was not only presented during the meeting, but at the end, Yan Xia also asked all the scholars to send him their own records of their thoughts.

This is one of the advantages of having a secondary brain—it can store memories. You don't need to recall what you did; everything you did has already been recorded by the secondary brain.

Yan Xia did not ask Ella to help him analyze the data but chose to do it himself. After organizing it, Ella would then take over to optimize it, which is the most perfect approach.

During the research process, Yan Xia sensed the feeling that the scholar who had refuted the Hundred-Eyed Scholar experienced when looking at the Hundred-Eyed Scholar's eyes.

It was creepy...

Suddenly, he recalled a modern myth from the Earth era.

Many Earth myths originated from ancient beliefs, but one stood out—the myth of Cthulhu.

In Yan Xia's opinion, the core of the Cthulhu myth is fear, mystery, and grotesqueness, which sets it apart from other myths.

"Let's use this as a template!"
